The women have been identified as 59-year-old Rita Schafer and 76-year-old Janice Oliver.

The crash happened in the 9300 block of Third Street Road around 7:15 p.m. Thursday.

Investigators said for unknown reasons the driver lost control of the car.

Both died of blunt force injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.

WLKY spoke with nearby resident Justin Gasper, who rushed to the scene to help.

He watched both women pass away.

First responders arrived and pronounced the victims dead on the scene.

Gasper said this isn't the first time something like this has happened. He said it is an extremely dangerous stretch of roadway.

There are no guard rails and the ditches on the side of the road can get as deep as 15 feet.

He said he wants something to done to protect motorists.

"It makes me not want to drive this road anymore, man. This is the fifth time this has happened in two years. I mean, right across from it there is an even deeper ditch that someone went into and it's just terrible. These roads are terrible," said Gasper.

Police also said they are not sure if the victims were wearing their seat belts and they don't believe speed was a factor.
